At first, no one in the chatroom paid much attention to this seemingly simple analysis.
The previous investigation of the Goa Kingdom had been so impactful and useful.
But when Roya read out the first sentence, the higher-ups of the Revolutionary Army perked up their ears.
【“Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This is the primary question of the revolution.”】
【“On a larger scale, the Celestial Dragons are our absolute enemies. What about the World Government? They aren’t necessarily, and the Navy, even more, requires specific analysis.”】
【Fujitora and Koala nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.】
【Fujitora in particular, due to the fall of the Croacia Kingdom, harbored extreme discontent towards the World Government, including the Navy.】
【But here, Roya’s words were obviously much more rational.】
On the Kamabakka Kingdom.
Dragon’s eyes narrowed as he recalled a conversation he had with Vegapunk on Ohara twenty-two years ago.
The other party had clearly told him that to understand who the real enemy was, one must know that the World Government was comprised of many factions, including some who were open-minded.
He had kept these words in mind since then, and still did.
But only he and the higher-ups maintained this relative rationality.
What about the lower-ranking revolutionaries? As the Revolutionary Army’s forces grew, did those numerous revolutionaries still hold onto this rationality?
Honestly, recent events in a series of kingdom liberation movements made Dragon less optimistic.
This was a problem that had always plagued him. Currently, it seemed Roya had foreseen this issue and was already working on a solution.
【“Due to the lack of detailed knowledge about the factions within the World Government, we’ll only be discussing the Goa Kingdom, which we have already investigated.”】
【“It’s worth noting that our proletariat revolutionaries currently have a significant power disparity compared to the ruling class.”】
【“To ensure the success of the revolution, we must remember to unite with our true friends in order to attack our true enemies.”】
【“To discern true friends and foes, we must analyze the economic status and revolutionary attitude of each class in the Goa Kingdom.”】
【“First, the royal family and nobles of the Goa Kingdom. They possess the most land and privileges in the Goa Kingdom. The class they represent is also the most backward in the Goa Kingdom, hindering its productive force.”】
【“Their goals are completely incompatible with those of the revolutionaries. They are absolute counter-revolutionaries.”】
【“Second, the petty bourgeoisie, such as small merchants, handicraft owners, self-sufficient farmers, and the intellectual petty bourgeoisie.”】
【“This class can be generally divided into three parts: those with extra money, those who are basically self-sufficient, and those with a declining standard of living.”】
【“Of course, because the Goa Kingdom is relatively wealthy, this group, while being exploited, is relatively affluent in material terms. They are timid and afraid of the nobles, but also afraid of the revolution, fearful that in the midst of chaos, they will be unable to maintain their current lifestyle.”】
【“This class can be rallied. They are also the oppressed. Their interests generally don’t align with the nobles. We can’t push them into the nobles’ camp. When the revolutionary tide rises, this class will join the revolution and become a force for revolution.”】
【“Third, the semi-proletariat. Most of the farmers are semi-proletarians.”】
【“Fourth, the working class, comprised of workers who completely sell their labor and have nothing but their two hands.”】
【“Fifth, the vagrant proletariat. They mostly gather in border towns and the Uncertain Object Terminal Station.”】
【“Normally, the semi-proletariat and the working class are the main force of the revolution. But in the relatively wealthy and peaceful Goa Kingdom, while they still bear the burden of exploitation, their basic livelihood is ensured. So, in the Goa Kingdom, they are generally not considered the main revolutionary force.”】
【Note that this only applies to the relatively wealthy Goa Kingdom. In general, as long as people’s lives are barely sustainable, their revolutionary motivation and drive will be much lower.】
【“Therefore, in the Goa Kingdom, the vagrant proletariat should be the core driving force of the revolution. They are the most persecuted, especially the residents of the Uncertain Object Terminal Station.”】
【In summary, generally speaking, the royal family and nobility are our absolute enemies. The petty bourgeoisie can be rallied. The semi-proletariat and the working class are the main force, depending on the specific situation.】
【“Overall, we must rely on specific analyses based on specific investigations. Analysis without investigation is groundless.”】
“This is truly on another level.”
Dragon couldn’t help but marvel, simultaneously recalling Roya’s class analysis in his mind.
This was absolutely something that could serve as an action guideline for the Revolutionary Army.
It would be a great remedy for the increasingly powerful Revolutionary Army.
“Genius.”
Ivankov didn’t know how else to describe it.
He really wanted to pry open Roya’s brain to see how this kid thought.
Why, at such a young age, was he so insightful about revolution?
Even they, veterans of decades of revolution, were far behind.
【“How about it? Any questions after hearing all that?” Roya asked, putting away the report.】
【“No problems, it’s like a revelation. I feel like the situation in the entire Goa Kingdom has become clear,” Fujitora said.】
【Koala, on the other hand, pondered for a moment, then looked at Roya and said,】
【“Mr. Roya, do you want to use the people in the border towns to start the revolution?”】
【“Yes, is there a problem?” Roya valued Koala’s opinions, as he was a native of the Goa Kingdom.】
【“Unlike the people at the Uncertain Object Terminal Station, those in the border towns may not be so easily swayed to our cause. They are mostly thugs who were ostracized from the central streets.”】
【“Many are also those who fought their way out of the Terminal Station. And unlike me, some have been in the border towns for many years, relying on their ruthlessness, and some have even developed into full-fledged gangs.”】
【“Koala’s meaning is clear. Compared to relying on them as revolutionary forces, these thugs are more likely to become disruptors of order.”】
【“I understand. I won’t consider them for now,” Roya nodded thoughtfully after a moment of deliberation.】
【He wouldn’t think he could easily reform thugs, especially their leaders, just because of one example like Koala. They had already transitioned from the oppressed to the oppressors.】
【His base of operations would still be centered around the Uncertain Object Terminal Station.】
